Advice

Locking the vehicle

Driving with the doors locked could make

it more difficult for the emergency services

to enter the vehicle in an emergency.

As a safety precaution (with children on

board), remove the key from the ignition or

take the electronic key when leaving the

vehicle, even for a short time.

Remote control

Deadlocking

The high frequency remote control is

a sensitive system; do not operate it while

it is in your pocket as there is a possibility

that it may unlock the vehicle, without you

being aware of it.

Do not press the buttons of your remote

control out of range of your vehicle.

It might stop working. It will then be

necessary to reinitialise it again.

The remote control does not operate when

the key is in the ignition switch, even when

the ignition is switched off.

Deadlocking deactivates the exterior

and interior door controls, as well as the

central locking button on the dashboard.

The horn remains operational.

You must therefore never leave anyone

inside the vehicle when it is deadlocked.

Purchasing a second-hand vehicle

vehicle is fitted with a towing device.

Manual closing of the

motorised tailgate in case

of failure

This operation is only necessary in the case

of failure of the tailgate motor.

recommended to recharge it or change it with

the tailgate closed.

In this situation, a significant force may be

needed to close the tailgate.

F Close it gently without slamming, as slowly

as possible, by pushing at the centre of the

tailgate.

In wintry conditions

To avoid any operating problems, remove

the snow or wait until the ice melts before

requesting motorised opening of the

tailgate.

In some circumstances, the tailgate may open

or close by itself, particularly if:

-

you hitch or unhitch a trailer,

you fit or remove a bicycle carrier,

you load or unload bicycles from a bicycle

carrier,

When washing

-

you place or lift something behind the

vehicle,

When washing the vehicle in an automatic

car wash, do not forget to lock your vehicle

to avoid the risk of unexpected opening.

-

an animal approaches the rear bumper,

you are washing your vehicle,

your vehicle is being serviced,

you are accessing the spare wheel

(depending on version).

Do not lower the tailgate by pushing at one

of its sides – risk of damage!

Recommendations related

to the "Hands-Free Tailgate

Access" function

To avoid such operating problems, keep the

electronic key away from the recognition zone

or deactivate "Hands-Free Tailgate Access".

Precautions in use

If several kicking movements to operate the

tailgate have no effect, wait a few seconds

before trying again.

To avoid unwanted opening of the tailgate

when using the towing device:

After installing a towing device, it is

essential to contact a CITROËN dealer

or a qualified workshop so that it is taken

into account by the detection system.

Otherwise, risk of "Hands-Free Tailgate

Access" function failure.

The function automatically deactivates in heavy

rain or following a build-up of snow.

-

deactivate the "Hands-Free Tailgate

Access" function in advance in your

vehicle's configuration menu,

or remove the electronic key from the

recognition zone, with the tailgate

closed.

If it does not work, check that the electronic key

is not exposed to a source of electromagnetic

pollution (smartphone, etc.).
